What is Eduroam:

The service "EDUROAM" allows any member of an institution participating in the project (academic institution or research) to connect to the secure wireless network to any other partner institution, using its original identification (username and password) without any prior administrative approach.

VKI signed the EDUROAM agreement. You can view the list of participating Belgian institutions on the website of EDUROAM. Other European institutions joining the program are listed on a page of their own ISP, available from the General site.

For non-members of VKI:A member of a higher education institution or research (participating in the project EDUROAM), visiting VKI can access the EDUROAM wireless network using its usual identification parameters, the only difference is that the login must be increased by an institution to its own suffix: prenom.nom@votreinstitution

This suffix is provided by each institution.

In the following you'll find detailed instructions on how to use the eduroam network in VKI. These instructions should be read and possibly stored before coming to VKI. In case you forgot them, there is a special wifi network called eduroam-instructions where we briefly recall them.

- Close all windows by clicking on "OK" and try to connect to EDUROAM.

For members of VKI traveling in a partner institution:

They can access the EDUROAM wireless network of the partner institution using their usual login (under the form This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

Each institution that provides the eduroam service is not obliged to use the same authentication mechanism. I.e. different institutions may have a different security protocol or may request the use of a specific software client. Therefore you should always check beforehand from the General Site what are the specific instructions/requirements.

In VKI there is a special wifi network (eduroam-instructions) where visitors find the connections instructions to use the proper eduroam network. See if other institutions provide the same service, or ask help to someone that has network access and check their eduroam instructions.
